Here's a few from today. The season seems to be winding down, my patches are losing some vigor, maybe it's just getting too cold.

i dont think the season has even officially started. its a really abnormal year for weather if you think back to the summer cycle and how long it lasted. we've had less than 15 days of rain and that just doesnt happen in the bay area. just you wait waylit, just you wait

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it.
If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

And particularly another fantastic snap by Young Tripper:



So if we are going on macroscopic appearances - which some people on this site take particular interest in - Id say they are quite similar. Also Ive noticed that your specimens of friscosa have a greyish streaked stem - a macroscopic characteristic originally used to differentiate Ps.subaeruginosa from Ps.cyanescens.

Ps.subaeruginosa is also interesting to mention because its macroscopic appearance is so vastly variable - as a precedent it could be used to argue that all these mushrooms labelled friscosa are actually Ps.cyanescens given that it varies less than subaeruginosa - the kind of Psilocybe mutants...

yeah, macroscopic appearances do tend to be rather high up on the priority list for hunters

But in terms of properly identifying a mushroom - which I assume this whole thread has been on about - they mean very little. If you want to actually find out where this mushroom sits - which sometimes you seem interested in, and other times you've said you dont really care about, you'd be aware that macroscopic appearances arent going to give you an answer.

Oh and in terms of the separable pellicle of Ps.cyanescens - its just a macroscopic phenotype - some are some arent... Just because one person never encounters it within local specimens doesnt make it correct that there is no separable pellicle in all cyanescens...

I know where this mushrooms sits..In fact, I know a couple of places where this mushrooms sits. I used macroscopic characteristics to find it too. I didn't use a microscope to find it, i can say that for sure.
It's kind of tough using a microscope to hunt...it really narrows your viewing field

Maybe a microscope might come in useful in separating the mushroom's pellicle? It sounds like because you couldnt do it thus far it must be fact that its impossible for anyone else to do it??

So there is a mushroom being found that is a slight deviation from any standard appearance. I'd say have samples analyzed so it can be specifically determined exactly which mushroom it is, instead of taking the opportunity to start calling it something else and not really seek out an understanding of what it actually is.

Or something like that.

you're right....I had no idea what i was talking about...does this mean people will stop asking me for locations then?

hey bluemeanie, i hear it's high summer in Australia now...hows the weather down under?..pretty dry, huh?....not much happening fungus-wise, eh?...Not much to do down there?...pretty boring if it wasn't for these threads, huh?

- oops i accidently replied within this post. My bad...

I think I'm going to head into the park this afternoon. I've clocked many, many hours, found many inactives and only a single, dry cyan thus far...
Hopefully today is the day.. wish me luck.

I think that the season is going to be hit and miss this year,3 of my 9 locations havn't fruited yet,and I know that there is plety of nutirates for them there,Last year Up here in humboldt I picked a patch of Cyans all the way till April,20th.

Yeah, that's true indeed...people this year are going to clock alot of hours and find nothing...I know i have and I've been picking a long time.

I know of many patches that have not fruited yet..the mycelium is doing just fine, but no fruits.

You know what I think it is, it's the dry east wind we are getting between storms...Today, it was so dry I could see Mt St helena from an SF hilltop.

When you can see Mt St Helena and Mt Diablo clear as a bell, it's dry..Low humidity..Not just that, but it's blowing hard...a thousand million box fans couldn't dry this area out like these winds are doing

Since this stuff is right below the surface, I'm sure it senses this nasty dry wind, and alot of the places aren't about to send fruits up.

It really seems like it's not the amound of rain in numbers, but how long it stays wet. (and not get desert-like dry in between)


i don't remember getting extreme Santa Ana type winds like this after every storm..what a tease :tongue:

Poisoning in Santa Cruz [Re: auweia]
    #6428895 -

just saw this in the news, here's the link

http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=local&id=4909658

note the one quote >  Often, people from other countries pick mushrooms in the United States based on selection criteria they have used in their home countries, but those systems don't apply here, Tani said.


this is what I said a couple days ago...Things are different out here..Even the same species is different in some cases from other parts of the world.

every year we get one of these in the Bay Area..usually they are from SE Asia....sad :frown:

Just came back from a four hour foray in GG park and found nothing... no actives that is. I covered several areas of the park. There were dozens of sulphur tufts, inky caps and tuberias... those bright red ones with the white gills were coming up everywhere practically, also some agaricus... but not a single active:(
It seems that the weather is supporting fruiting of many species.... just not our beloved psychedelic varieties.
I'm fairly new at this.  I just have to keep at it I guess...
I'm bummed, though. :banghead:  :

On a lighter note, this is from today, mostly in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

this time I went back to my old camera which I think is better anyway, and turned the date back on.

the previous post, blueshaman is right, I was out there today myself, and saw the same thing...it's tougher than shit out there right now


later edit > alot of the experts would recognize these photos, microscopy or not...it is a problem that exists to this day...the experts can tell, but alot of the newbies can't...what is it?...shape?..color?...what is it that seperates people in the lab, from people in the field, anyway?

don't be fooled by these photos, this is only from many years of experience in Golden Gate Park

there should be alot more right now, but there isn't...In past years, there was alot more at this time..these photos are very rare
